	Babendil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The babendil usually has a diameter of roughly one foot making it larger than the largest kulintang gong and comparable to the diameter of the agung or gandingan.
		Because of their sunken boss, babendils are stuck instead either at the flange or the rim, using either bamboo betays or a strip of rattan producing a sharp, distinctive metallic clang
		Babendils are normally made out of bronze but due to the scarcity of this metal in Mindanao, most gongs, including the babendil are made out of more common metal such as brass, iron and even tin-can.

		The babendil is a single, narrow-rimmed Philippine gong used primary as the “timekeeper” of the kulintang ensemble.
		Usually averaging about a foot in width, the diameter of the babendil is usually larger than the largest kulintang gong, more concaved at the rim and narrower at the flange than the former and could be comparable in width with the gandingan or the agung.
		Normally, the babendil is handheld when the player is standing but the babendil could also be hung half a foot from the floor when seated.

		Instead, instrumentation came in other forms with names that are more on the fancy-fancy side, like the babendil to the agung.
		The babendil, according to the kulintang website, is a small vertical hand-held gong, struck on its rim and functioned as the time-keeper of the ensemble.
		The agung is a very large wide-rimmed vertical-hanging gong, struck with a rubber-covered stick while the gandingan functions with a set of four large, shallow vertical-hanging gongs which graduate in size and in tuning.
